Zest of Passion

We need passion.... We need passion to live, to breathe, to enjoy, to be able to feel the delight, the pleasure, the zest, the total and complete gratification of being here right now alive on this planet in a wonderful being somehow labeled as Homo Sapiens.

The passion is what makes us live. Oh, of course we can make the right decisions to do all the possible things to fulfill the basic needs of survival but we are lucky... WE, us, the majority in here having the luxury of Internet, living in the Western World and suffering more from depression and loneliness than hunger, famine and everyday terror.

When was the last time you listened to the thunder of the waves against the shore, smelled the fresh soil under the finger nails, felt the strength of wind against your belly or tasted the sweetness of water on the soft tongue? When was the last time you got down on all four to see the world from another perspective, had pillow fight with the kids, wrestled and played with your lover and kissed your dog or cat whispering words of love and happiness?

We need a life full of passion, firework, desire, roller coasters, lightnings, tears, laughter, surprises, wonder, challenges, amazement and constant curiosity and awe. A life full of all the wonderful, amazing, extra ordinary, beautiful, gorgeous and genius ingredients which are all there waiting for us.

Passion is life, light, love, it's what makes us open up the eyes every morning with a smile and the taste of wonder, our mind flowing with colorful images from a hidden dream world, feelings in the fingertips, our unconsciousness whispering us secrets and taking us on a awesome journey to other incredible dimensions and spheres full of wisdom and enigma.
Do you guys know those tests where you have to choose an answer from GOOD, LESS GOOD, AVERAGE, A BIT BAD, VERY BAD (or something like that!)? And how incredible easy it is just to answer AVERAGE to everything?....

Average, in the middle, neutral, gray, passive, impersonal, inert, nothing, nada, niet.

That's how we want to live our lives?!! Average?!

"Well sister, I'm sorry but sometimes it IS just like that -not good nor bad, neither moral nor immoral, neither good nor evil, right nor wrong....!"

Ok, yes I know.... but is THAT it? Is that what we want in life? Is that what we want to remember when we lie on our death bed thinking about all the years passed by? Does it really take so much more to put in the zest?

A vigorous and enthusiastic enjoyment, the DESIRE, joie de vie, EXCITEMENT and JOY. 

The stars never shines with the same intensity, the daily jam and butter sandwich will always have a new taste and your lover, spouse, friend is never the same one minute from the other. Neither are we. Everything changes. Now then WHEN and why do we become numb and blind? We got enough constant new inputs to keep the wonder rolling. We have so much both inside and outside us. Everywhere we look we hear communication and feel energy. Always. Eternal.

Does living in passion take a lot of effort, hard work and energy? Yes and no. It IS necessary to stay alert, keep an open heart and remember the awe but that's not "work", that's a lifestyle. That's how we all should live and trust me, it gives sooooo much more energy, joy and LOVE. The flow will be inside you -of course it always is but you'll finally be able to feel it. It's there! You'll be swimming in the arms of love, feeling the kisses of the angels and you'll finally be able to feel the air and light IN you as well as out on the street. 

It's passion, desire for living. It's love, it's us and it's just so amazingly beautiful.  

PS. I totally love that picture....
